Keystroke

Keystroke is a typing-based roguelike inspired by games like Balatro. Type words to score. Each word scores its Base (the letters) times its Flow (your speed, your streak, your heat and your keycaps). Beat each page's goal before the clock runs out.

Between pages, spend Ink on keycaps and edits. Keycaps stay on your keyboard for the whole run and change how words score. Edits change your words, your keycaps or the rules. 

Start on Draft, with 20-second pages, gentler goals, and the paper is due after page 15. Clear page 10 to open Deadline!

Content:

- 100+ keycaps, plus Artisan versions to unlock

- 40+ edits and 20+ bosses

- 16 missions with custom rulesets

- 6 difficulties, 7 keyboards

- 8 themes and a daily challenge

Controls:

- Type the word.

- Backspace fixes a letter, and Delete clears the word.

- Tab skips a word.

- Enter ends a page once the goal is met.

The game is still being made, and I'd love to hear what you think. Press Send feedback on the results screen after a run, or leave a comment here.

Run reports: when a run ends, the game can send me an anonymous summary: how far it got, your typing speed and the keycaps you bought. It includes no name or account, and it helps me balance the game. You can easily switch it off in Settings > Game > Send run reports. Feedback you type is sent the same way.
